1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas system makes it possible to rapidly characterise gene function in vitro and in vivo, and provides a powerful platform through which the genetics of farmed fish can be altered to improve traits such as resistance to important pathogens. Tilapia is one of the most important farmed fish globally; however, its farming is heavily impacted by Tilapia lake virus (TiLV). The Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) brain (OmB) cell line is susceptible to TiLV, making it an ideal in vitro model for studying host-pathogen interactions and mechanisms of disease resistance. To establish OmB cells as a model for gene editing in Tilapia, it is essential to optimise genome editing protocols. In this study, we optimized a CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing system for OmB cells using ribonucleoprotein complexes. With the optimized protocol, we successfully edited two endogenous genes with efficiencies ranging from 67% to 70%. In conclusion, we establish a highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 RNP based gene editing workflow optimized for OmB tilapia cell lines. This optimized platform will facilitate future functional genomic studies in tilapia and support the development of TiLV-resistant tilapia.
